Perfect - Except I broke out!

Why is it that every moisturizer I try that actually works the way I want it to makes me break out? This is excellent for use after retinol, when Moisture Boost isn't enough. Perhaps there are a few too many plant extracts in this one that I may be sensitive to.

Healed my skin

This was my first PC product. It is very thick and cushiony, and it healed my dry, flaky, irritated skin. After using it for about a month my skin was no longer irritated and was able to tolerate the BHA liquid and the various retinol products. Thank you for this great fragrance-free moisturizer!

Turning 4o: parched, super dry, acne prone skin and I live in a very dry desert climate. This moisturizer is emollient yet light textured and it satisfies my skin. Whenever my skin gets thirstier due to travel or 1% Retinol use, I can add Resist Oil Booster , 15% Vitamin C Serum and Antioxidant serum as needed. All 3 formulas blend beautifully and my skin GLOWS. My skin stays hydrated day & night with a dewy glow. UH-MA-ZING :) If I only had more room to rave review a bit longer ;)

My go to for dry skin

This moisturizer is my go to for when my skin is dry. I've been using it for many years and think its a great product, especially for winters in colder climates. I've tried some of the newer PC moisturizers and have always come back to this. Its a winner for my sensitive skin!

AMAZING!

What an amazing moisturizer,it feels like a cloud in a bottle, its so soft and creamy. I got it cuz i needed something for the damage the -20 winter weather did to my skin. The day it arrived my face was red, hot,very itchy and inflamed because of the cold. I put it on after my bha liquid and it was sticky, i was kinda worried but when I woke up my skin was AMAZING. all the redness was gone and my skin was so smooth,NO BREAKOUTS! It absorbs right into my skin now, i think it fixed the barrier

Not for me.

I have very oily skin but it gets very dry from my Retin-a RX. So I was in need of a moisturizer for night use with the RX & under my makeup on dry flaky spots. I tried a sample of the Moisture Boost and like it but bought the full size of this product by mistake. When i first tried it, I loved the consistency but it would clump up when I tried to apply my foundation over it. And when I used it once all over my face before bed, I woke up with 10+ small pimples the next a.m.

very off-putting smell

got a sample, as the nor'east winters always dry up my skin. the smell was so off-putting when i tore off the seal (i thought of old lady makeup), i didn't even want to put it on my face. i recommend the moisture boost moisturizer (neutral scent, rich but not overly heavy consistency).

Thanks for your feedback! The scent you described is not typical for this product. We're glad you like the Moisture Boost formula, but if you'd like to try again with a sample of the Skin Recovery Moisturizer, please contact us for assistance.

Very Impressive

I probably should not be writing a review after one use...but I am so impressed with this product, I felt I should. My skin can be normal, combination, acne-prone, sensitive and dry...sometimes all of these things at once...sometimes just one or the other...the only consistent thing about my skin is that it is rarely in balance. Lately my skin has been red, dry, flaky and uncomfortable around my mouth and chin. After using this, it cleared up immediately with no irritation.

My Go-To Moisturizer

I used to use the Moisture Boost, but I noticed it did not have as many antioxidants as Skin Recovery did, so I purchased Skin Recovery. I am definitely in love with this, along with adding the Ultra-Light Super Antioxidant Serum to it as well. No greasy feeling, and works really well for my acne-prone/combination skin. Continue to repurchase this moisturizer.

This has become my go-to moisturizer for winter. Don't let the light texture fool you: this moisturizer can handle -20C temperatures.

my "go-to" moisterizer

I wear this at night since it doesn't have sunscreen and have been using it for years. I wish it were a bit more moisturizing since it is marketing to dry skin. But, it is better than anything else I have found. Thank you Paula!

Perfect Under Eye

The best under eye cream for me: I can use this all around my eye, including lids, without any stinging at all. The cream helps with the dry red patches I sometimes get on my lids and orbital bone. Also, my 6-year old son has had eczema on his cheeks since birth, and this is the only cream that he not only tolerates but that actually alleviates the condition.

Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturizer

I have dry, mature skin. I am in my 70th year and northern winters are brutally cold and drying. Paula's Replenishing Moisturizer rescues my skin. It is loaded with antioxidants. I add a little extra virgin olive oil to the moisturizer and massage this mixture into my face and throat at least twice a day. Wrinkles are less noticeable, skin feels soft, I look 10 years younger. Thank you, Paula. People of all ages look better with your products.

I have sensitive skin that has become really dry, especially in the winter. This has really saved my skin. Redness and dryness are both gone thanks to this moisturizer. Feels great going on, and works like a charm.

Best Moisturizer!

With my skin being dry, sensitive and acne prone I was terrified of using any kind of heavy cream and got samples, This was god send! I use this in conjunction with any of my skin care oils and it works beautifully. My skin isn't dry period.. and I can even wash my face and not feel the need to immediately moisturize as us dry skinned gals normally feel tight as soon as we get out the shower. The best part? As someone so prone to break outs I was surprised that this didn't break me out.

Great for Under Eyes and Eczema

I originally purchased this product to use as an under eye cream for when they look super dehydrated and crepy and it works really well for that! It is a thick, emollient cream that I can slather all around my eye area with absolutely no burning. My 5-year old has very sensitive skin and struggles with eczema on her face and even eye lids. She used this all over her face without any burning or stinging and with just one application, showed a dramatic improvement. This is the only lotion she uses

Using for my rosacea

I really like this product. I was looking for something to help tame my rosacea which is allergy and weather induced. I've used it 2x a day for about a week and it does seem to tone down the redness. I also noticed it cleared up the dryness around my nose from my allergic rhinitis. This moisturizer is thick & creamy. I literally only use a pea-sized amount and start on my cheeks/nose and them work outward. I used this around my eyes and didn't have irritation. I don't notice a smell. Just clean.

disappointing

I was really excited to use this moisturizer as my skin has gotten very dry in the past few months, but ended up being really disappointed with it. The thick texture feels nice and it absorbs well without feeling greasy but that seems to be all it does. I didn't notice even a small improvement in the dryness of my skin, which was very surprising. Will definitely not purchase again.

Did not break me out whereas Moisture Boost did

Having breakout-prone skin, I am very wary of products for dry skin, but in winter I started getting a flaky complexion that needed more hydration. Moisture Boost broke me out so I was scared of trying Skin Recovery, thinking it would be even richer than MB. Not so. SR has been perfect this winter. Not a single pimple in sight, and no flakes or dryness. Just soft, happy skin, like I usually have thanks to a PC-loaded regimen. If MB broke you out, don't be scared to try this! Just try a sample.

Hydration here we come.

I am loving this product. Perfect hydration for after when I do my facial peels. Really helps to calm and soothe my skin. Loving the feel of it, really soaks into my skin. Would like for it to have a lid that just opens, not liking the taking lid off. But that's a small thing to compare how great this product is.

Absolute best

I have pretty sensitive skin, but it REALLY freaks out in the winter. It gets dry and flaky so much that it could actually hurt from feeling so tight! Last winter when I discovered this, my skin was the happiest it has ever been. It's thick, it doesn't burn, and it works wonders for dry eye skin especially, and even my neck, which gets dry and itchy in the winter. I only use it around my dry eyes/nose in the summer. My skin hasn't flaked once since last winter and looks healthy and hydrated.

Ok product. Works well at night, but I find it too greasy for day use... it may be good for super duper dry skin, or for folks in a drier climate than were I live. Plus I really didn't like the smell. I know PC is fragrance free, so that's good for sensitive skin, but I couldn't stand it.

This is too sticky for my liking. I don't feel like my skin has a nice dewy glow when I use it and when I touch my skin a while after applying, it feels sticky :/ I will try another PC moisturizer.

Keeps you looking younger!

I developed rosacea and battled with it unsuccessfully for 2 years. My friend told me about Paula's Choice and these wonderful products. One week later the rosacea disappeared. That was 20 years ago. People are surprised when they learn that I am 61 years old. They tell me that I look no older than 40. I have just a few fine crow's feet wrinkles around my eyes. I use Skin Recovery Moisturizer as a night cream and eye cream during the day. It works!

What makes this product unique?Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturizer blends emollients, soothing agents, anti-irritants, antioxidants and cell-communicating ingredients to create an exceptionally rich cream that takes superior care of dry to very dry skin. The formula strengthens skin, helps restore a healthy barrier function, and stimulates healthy collagen production for a firmer, more youthful look. Problem dryness does an about-face: you'll see a smoothed, plumped, absolutely radiant complexion that looks younger and healthier.

This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free.

Who is this product for?Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturizer is recommended for those with normal to very dry skin. For daytime use, you can apply a Paula's Choice foundation and pressed powder with SPF 15 over the Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturizer for sun protection, or you can use Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 instead.

Sources to support the claims made for Skin Recovery REPLENISHING Moisturizer

DIRECTIONS: Ideal for softening and smoothing the face, neck and eye area. At night, use as the last step in your skincare routine. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater.

Several Paula's Choice moisturizers would work well for you. Choosing the perfect moisturizer has a lot to do with personal preference and trying a product to determine which one works best on your skin. A good place to start, especially if signs of aging are a concern, is with our Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer. If you want a richer texture, try our Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream or Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturizer. It is also helpful to use our Resist Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum or Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum in combination with (on top of or underneath) any moisturizer you apply. You may also wish to treat your dry skin to frequent applications of our Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask.
